I think it has to do with a certain level of moisture in atmosphere. MontanaMama Apr 2022 #7

That's a Sun Dog! It's caused by ice crystals in the upper atmosphere. AndyS Apr 2022 #10

This is a special photo! No matter which camera you're using, the photo is what counts.

And this is stunning.

Thank you for seeing it in the first place, and for sharing it as well!

Those are big words coming from you. I am out every morning when the sun comes up… I live in a canyon so it comes up later for me then it might for some of you on the coast. However, I don’t recall seeing this… At least that I can remember. It was a treat to be sure.

However, I’m out every single morning as the sun is coming up and I can’t think of one I’ve seen this.

Kinda rare and your composition of the sun behind the tree is spectacular. Well done MM!
